Hello Sanjiv ,
Psoriasis is a long-term skin issue — causes red, scaly patches, mostly on the scalp, elbows, legs, and face. Often gets worse with stress, cold weather, or certain foods. Creams and diets may give short relief, but a deeper approach is needed. In Ayurveda, it is due to Vata and Kapha imbalance — leads to dryness, itching, and inflammation.

How long have you had psoriasis, and have the patches been increasing or spreading?
Do you notice flare-ups during specific seasons or after eating certain foods?
Have you experienced joint pain, stiffness, or swelling, which may suggest psoriatic arthritis?
Are you under stress or facing any emotional challenges?
What medications, creams, or therapies have you tried, and how effective were they? Please share this information to help you and suggest proper management.

Hello Sanjiv, Psoriasis is often linked to imbalanced pitta and vata doshas, leading to inflammation, dryness, and scaling. Since it is a chronic condition, a deeper detoxification approach is needed.

Please provide more details on your digestion, bowel habits, stress levels, and any past illnesses or treatments. Have you noticed seasonal flare-ups, itching severity, or any triggers like stress or certain foods?

For ayurvedic treatment, consider taking maha manjisthadi kwath or sarivadyasava for blood purification, gandhak rasayan to reduce skin inflammation, and a mixture of neem and turmeric with warm water daily. Applying coconut oil mixed with neem or kumkumadi oil can help with scalp and skin dryness. Panchatikta ghrita guggulu is also beneficial for chronic skin conditions.

Avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods, and increase bitter and cooling foods like karela, neem, and aloe vera juice. Practice abhyanga (self-massage) with medicated oils and follow a regular routine with yoga and pranayama to manage stress.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms indicate an imbalance primarily in Kapha and Vata doshas, affecting metabolism (Agni), hormonal balance, and joint health.

Start on 
	1.Triphala churna 1 tsp at night with warm water) 
	2. Methi (Fenugreek) seeds 
         3. Tab. Medohara vati 1 tab 1 hour before lunch and dinner with warm water 
soak methi seeds 1/4 tsp overnight.. chew it on empty stomach at morning 
 Start your day with warm water and Lemon-Turmeric-Honey to boost metabolism.
ensure 7-8 hours of rest with a consistent routine.

I would need to know more about your current lifestyle, digestion, sleep patterns, and stress levels. Additionally, information about your dietary habits (types of foods, meal timing, and any food intolerances), your menstrual history (if still relevant), and any family history of metabolic or autoimmune diseases would be helpful. It's also important to understand your emotional state and mental well-being, as Ayurvedic treatment often considers the mind-body connection.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, weight management and insulin resistance can often be linked to an imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which governs metabolism, stability, and structure. The excess weight, along with insulin resistance and cortisol imbalance, can indicate Vata-Kapha or Pitta-Kapha imbalances. Ayurvedic treatments aim to harmonize these doshas through diet, herbal remedies, detoxification practices (like Panchakarma), and lifestyle changes.

For temporary relief and support, herbs like Guggulu (for metabolism), Triphala (for digestion and detox), and Guduchi (for immune and inflammation support) may be recommended. A warm water detox in the morning, with Cinnamon and Fenugreek seeds, may help manage insulin sensitivity and balance blood sugar levels. Regular practice of yoga and pranayama (breathing exercises) can help reduce stress and improve overall well-being.

Hello Adha, 
According to Ayurvedic way of management of hypothyroidism, insulin resistance, and weight challenges focuses on balancing the Kapha and Vata doshas, enhancing metabolism (Agni), and reducing inflammation. Herbal formulations like Kanchanar Guggulu are often recommended to support thyroid function and reduce excess fat, while Triphala Churna aids digestion and detoxification. Ashwagandha can help regulate cortisol levels and reduce stress, supporting adrenal function. Additionally, Guduchi (Tinospora Cordifolia) is beneficial in reducing inflammation and improving insulin sensitivity. 

Diet - A Kapha-pacifying diet consisting of warm, light meals with minimal sugar and processed foods is suggested, along with the inclusion of metabolism-boosting spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon. Millets such as ragi and bajra are preferable over refined grains. Regular exercise, particularly Yoga and breathing practices like Kapalbhati and Bhastrika, can further stimulate metabolism and enhance overall well-being. 

Therapy- Abhyanga (oil massage) using sesame or mustard oil is recommended to improve circulation and alleviate joint pain caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. 
- Managing stress through meditation and relaxation therapies like Shirodhara also supports hormonal balance.

Triphala powder-
Drinking a glass of warm water mixed with triphala powder before bedtime can help regulate bowel movements and aid in weight loss. Triphala also helps detoxify the body and reduce inflammation.

Lemon juice -
Drinking warm water with lemon juice first thing in the morning can help jumpstart your metabolism and aid in digestion. Lemon contains citric acid, which helps break down fat and suppress appetite. This simple remedy can also help flush out toxins and prevent bloating

Ginger tea-
Drinking ginger tea can help improve digestion, reduce inflammation, and boost metabolism. Ginger contains compounds called gingerols and shogaols that help burn belly fat by increasing the body's metabolic rate.

Eat a low-fat diet

Practice yoga
Certain yoga postures like the Boat Pose, Cobra Pose, and Plank Pose can specifically target belly fat and tone the abdominal muscles.
